A few thousand columns of dope are
printed each year about the various flndt
of the season.
But In Llelibardt, the Memphis team un
doubtedly has the greatest "discovery.” of
the 1904 campaign.
Tom Hughes, Atlanta's leading pitcher,
was no -find," for Billy Smith knew b<
waa a wonder before he landed him. Every
body knew what Tom Fisher could do,
snd Maswell, while be wss "discovered,"
all right, does not class with the mighty
"Ueliby."
Llelibardt has lieen pitching for three
years, most of the time In the Western
league, snd with only Indifferent sue-
:ss.
When Babb got him he was practically
unheard-of, anil the algutng waa the lieat
stunt pulled off by the "hoy manager’* In
thla, Ida drat aeaoon na a manager.
Laat year, "Llehby" waa with a cellar
club, and loat hit laat nine gatnea, with a
total of forty-fiee errora liehlnd him
Thla year, the Dutch count Joined the
Memphla dull after hla releoao waa pur*
chased from Det Molars.
Ilia drat notable game he loaf to C.'lnclu-
ball, 3 to 2 Cp to the ninth Inning, he
a winner. 2 to 1, lntt with two out and two
liasea, n very enay grounder waa hit to
Dick Cooley. Iilek picked the hall np a'nd
dropped It In attempting to throw It. On
Ida oecond attempt, he threw the hall Into
the bleachers, and Llelibardt lost n battle
he ahnuld have rightfully won. It waa hla
drat laurel—a defat that waa aa good aa a
victory, for It waa agalnat the Cincinnati
Heda, led by that great lender, Ned Ifon-
loii.
Since the cbamplonahlp opened, Ueb
hardt hoi been a consistent worker nil the
time. Ho lias one one hit, nue two-hlt,
three three-hit, three four-lilt nml three
dye-bit games to hla credit so for. He
has pitched twenty-seven games, over one-
third of Uio Memphis club'g hollies, with
twenty victories to hla credit.
Of I.tohhnrdt's seven defeats, three were
by scores of 2 to 1 nml two were extra
Inning games. Two were lost with a total
of seven blta secured off his delivery.
Baron Von I.lehhnrdt hnd the proud hon
or of taking Shreveport out of drat place
twice, and on Itotta occasions he pitched
double-headers, thereby defeating the lead"
i four gainfa In two days.
Hed" Flshsc met two of hla defeats
of the year on these notable occasions.
One double-hander was ou tho road, and
tho ether at home.

KAVANAUGH WILL PUSH
CASE AGAINST “BREIT
Judge Knvntmugb has given a good ex
ample of hi* firmness in Insisting* on de
cent bnll In the Southern League by tlie
action he has taken In the "Breltenstetn-
Carey" Incident.
In a game In which Oreltensteln umpired
In Memphis, be made an nssnult with hla
flats on Carey, An attempt was made by
the New Orleans and Memphis managers to
whitewash the atfalr, but the Memphis pa
pers demanded an Investigation, and Pres
ident Havana ugh hna sent the following let
ter to Manager Frank:
••The newspaper reports nnd other nnof-
Acini reports which have reached me make
thla matter look very bad. The cold fncta
would make It a cnae that derannda some
action on my part. If Breltensteln had
been a regular umptro and acted aa he
did In thla case, hla aervtcca would no
longer have been retained. The newspa<
pers reported thnt you hnd taken this mat
ter In hand yourself and hml suspended
Breltensteln: I had hoped thnt this waa
a fact, nnd thla would enable me to say
thnt the mnungcr of the New Orleans club
hail seen fit to punish hla own players as
they deserved, but I notice from tho report?
of the game that Breltensteln worked Inst
Saturday, and this puts It up to me where
X must take cognizance of the mayor.
I must Inslat upon n more detailed
port than has been furnished. I regret
Tfry much that such a thing aa thla ahould
have occurred, but na It lias occurred, for
the good of tho game I must tee that the
principal offenders are made to suffer*In
some way for their ludlacretlona. I will
be glad to hear from you further on the
subject,"
An Outbreak of Savagery
On Diamond at Montgomery
At Montgomery Thursday afternoon a
crowd of baseball fans attempted to mob
Umpire Rudderhaiu.
In the first Inning, according to the press
serrlcea’ account of the happening, Byrne
stole second and was declared snfe by the
umpire. Mullaney, In th* gentlemauly way
for which he Is noted, made a kick and
wss put out of the game.
In an Instant a crowd of savages swarm-
td over luto the diamond and made for the
umpire. Only tho timely Interference of
Governor W. D. Jelko, who happened to
be at the game, saved Uudderbam from
serious Injury.
8ucb an outbreak of savagery hna not
been noted In the Southern League In many
years, nnd for n disgraceful exhibition of
bush league tactics It Is bard to beat.
Montgomery by such an act brought dis
grace on the league, and the* organisa
tion can have nothing but regret thnt It
niimlters In Its circuit a city where thnt
peculiar class of cannibals goes to base
ball games.
When the Southern League took Mont
goniery Into Its circuit. It understood that
It was taking a town right out of the stick**
but It hoped that by association, ns It were,
with decent cities. It might Itself become
almost decent. Thursday's outbreak would
seem to Indicate that this view . was
wrong.
It Is to l>e hoped that there are no more
am-h outbreak* among the Imtimrlnns of
joinery capital. If there are, then

FOUR-LEAF CLOVERS
HELPED BILLY WIN
To a large bouquet of well preased four-
leaf clover does llllly Smith, of the At
lanta baseball club, pay homage. Not that
the geulal chieftain la a bit superstitious,
but then—we all have our own wajr of
thinking about these matters.
The thin* happened In Montgomery, Ala.,
Juat before Atlanta's last game with Mili
tancy's men. The Crackers bad already
smothered four straight games on the
Janut, and Billy was mighty anxious to
take the last one before returning home;
In fact, B. Smith aald ho Just bad to
have It.
Juat aa the players were getting ready
to leave for the hall park, the clerk of
the hotel handed the boss a letter, with
the name, "Manager Billie Smith, of the
FORT ERIE.
Fort Erie, Ont., July 20.—The race*
thla afternoon resulted aa followa:
FIRST RACE—Rubaytat, 3 to X.
won; Away, 8 to 1, second; Olive Leaf,
to 5, third.
SECOND RACE2—De Oro, 2 to 1,
won; Spherical. 4 to 5, second; Al-
lanece, 2 to 1, third.
THIRD RACE—Request, 7 to 1, won;
Rebounder. 4 to 5, second; Lutle Mac,
6 to 1, third. Time, 1:40 1-5.
FOURTH RACE—Martin Doyle, 11
to 5, won; Benvolto. even, second; Hy
perion II, out, third.
FIFTH RACE—Triumphant, 3 to 1,
won; Mias Lida, 2 to 1, second; Reside,
2 to 1, third.
SIXTH RACE—Hannibal Bey, 11 to
20, won; Ingol Thrift, 3 to 1, second;
Gay Boy. 5 to 2, third.
SEVENTH RACE—The Don. 7 to I.
won; Don’t You Dare, 3 to 5. second;
Chancellor Walworth, out* third.
Atlanta club." Billy opened the letter, and,
pinned neatly to a sheet of Immaculate pa
per, was the bunch of clover. Juat above
the clover were the words, "I Hope These
Will Help You to Win," neatly written In
a feminine hand.
The players crowded around their mana
ger, nnd Hid Smith wanted to count ’em
and see If there was not one for each
man, hut Billy iufisted that there wasn't
but one Manager Smith, and that wss him
self.
The bouquet remained Intact, and Billy
lugs It around In his pocket, and when be
speaks of clover, bis voice strikes a tone
of reverence.
Note: The afternoon the clover cams to
Billy, Atlanta had two rung, snd when
Montgomery got the bases full, and no one
out, their Iwst bitter at the plate. It wit*
then that the Irish weed got In Its work.
The rain poured with heft and the pro
ceedings came to a standstill, with the
game In the Crackers' pockets.-Exchange.
All the western clubs were defeated
Thursday—and the three strongest were
shut out. Birmingham did It to New Or
leans, Montgomery to Shreveport—and, as
haa been remarked before, Atlanta did
stunts with Memphla
Wilhelm pitched a magnificent game, let
ting New Orleaua down with two hits.
"Little Eva" la certainly In rare form
these days and deserves a world of credit
for some of bis recent work.
In the opinion of Charley Babb It Is the
work of Wilhelm snd Uesgan which Is
keeping the Barons up where they are at
present.
BIGWRESTLINGMATCB
He Is worthy the name of Iron Man,
which no long lias been held by McGIn-
nlty, of the New York Nationals.
He has everything that goes to make a
successful pitcher. Ills spit ball la hla long
suit, and he bold* It differently from any
other pitcher, snd so delivers It that It
has no bad effete on his arm.
"Lleb's" friends are numlwred by the
score, as he has a tunny disposition,
defeat or victory, and he always carries
tbs same old smile that won’t come off,
He Is an ardent worker for his club's
success, snd Is always lu condition to give
bis bes^ services.
Manager Babb rightfully considers
"Llebby" the And of the Southren League.
Harlan T. McDaniel, sporting editor of
The Memphis Xews-Bcimltar, recently wrote
the writer: *
"What do you think of that boy Llsb
bardt? He's about the beat In the busl
ness. The last time out he won two In
one day. Two games! In the two games,
only three hits went past the infleld.
ended the second game by fanning three
men In the ulnth, and waa pitching (set
ter at the finish than nt the start of
the first. He has a spit ball under* good
control, uses hla bend nt all times,
bluffing half the time with the spit ball,
has a nice drqp, all other curvet, and In
the last five or fix games has worked the
change of pace racket to a frasxle.
lost a 1 to 0 game In New Orleans, but
best the mighty Tom Fisher the last time
be met him by a 1 to 0 score. He Is slated
for the big league next^year."
That Llebhardt will go to the big league
Is as certain ns anything that ever hap
pened. And If he does not make good,
provided be has a winning club behind him,
or even half decent support, be will sur
prise about 40,000 fans who have seen him
work In the Southern this season.
'Manager Babb has already admitted the
certainty that he will lose "Llebby," nud
will Join with the young Dutchman's
friends throughout the South In wishing
him success with whatever club lauds
him. i'robably the deni for" him has al
ready been closed, although Babb refuses
to say so Just at present.
In addition to Llebhardt, the Memphis
club will probably lose by draft or sale
Nlcholls, nml, perhaps, Babb himself.
In spite of all this, however, the Mem
phis club 4bouhl have next year a nucleus
around which a winning aggregation cau
be built. This year, Manager Babb, with
some considerable assistance* from Secre
tary Tom McCullough, has built up from
uothlng nt all save Ed Hurlburt and Geor
gia Sugg* one of the best teams lu the
league. What the "boy mnnnger" will do
next year with such a foundation ns he
will have left Is something for the other
managers to pouder over.

gave tongue to the following;
Gene Demont ain’t good emough
To play fer Grlllo. He
Ain’t good emough ter cover

With regularity.
All he's fit fer, la ter aet
Back In th' aun and aee

Bhow how ter wear a “T."
(Ppor Gene!)
Gene Demont'ain’t good emough
Ter play fer Grlllo. He

ball.
An' bat like Heck; but gee!
J. Ed ain't lookin’ fer thet sort,
An' J. he’a prealDEKT,
He ain’t agoln' ter hev the reat
Anuratn’ discontent.
(Poor Gene!)
Gene Demont ain't good emough
Ter play fer Grlllo. He
May know th' game an' work
fer true,
Ay' ahtne eternally.
But-he don’t wear hla hat Jet'
right;
Hla walk ain't Jen' ter ault;
He’a got er way uv breathing
air
Thet ain't ter aay, Jea- cute.
(Poor Gene!)

He may be eoon for rent.
Did you aay why?

TOURISTS OFF
ON LEMON RUN
8TRIKE UP INTO UNKNOWN QUE
BEC ON HARDEST RUN
OF THE TOUR.
By Private Leased Wire.
Montreal, Quebec, July 20.—'With fear and
trembling the Gllddenltes started out very
soon after daylight for their travel to
Three Rivers, a small town of unknown
eating facilities lu the province of Que-
bee. They knew naught on leaving here ex
cept that they were to run Into a Hand bog
and an uphill affair of rather uncertain
distance. Upon arrival they are to sleep
on a steamboat which Is chartered nnd
which Is supposed to anchor In the Three
Rivers. About six and a hnlf hours are
allowed for the run of ninety-six miles.
This Is a rather "breaking" pace, particu
larly when the cars have run 600 miles
The
je dubbed f the ^run ( as
for the best.
Those who'get there will be more than
lucky. The people along the way do not
sneak a great deni of Kngllsb. The towns
through which the route lies are called
Chnrlemnnge, St. Ppul, L’Hermlte, L'As
sumption nnd other hard names.
On arrival there Is little prospect of
food, for the town Is of only nboat 4,000
population and extremely primitive. There
la said to be a Hotel In the plnce which
Is something larger than the bath room la
